How do I print each iteration on separate lines in python3?

Question

New to coding, a student and I am trying to get this output:

    Line 1: input from user
              
    Line 2: input from user
                
    Line 3: input from user
                
    Line 4:input from user

    etc.

here is my code

sample

Right now it only prints the last iteration entered into the loop, I need it to print each iteration on separate lines at the end of the loop no matter how many times it loops.

Answer 1

Because you were printing addLine which came from a while loop, it would only print the last input before breaking the while loop. To fix this, change addLine to a list and then add all the inputs to the list each time. Then, after breaking the while loop, put the code inside a for loop so that it prints for each item in the list addLine . The for loop needs to be for every number in counter , starting at 0. For example if you entered 5 inputs then it would run from 0-4, so print the line and then the number which is counter+1 so it does 1-5 instead of 0-4. Then just add addLine[num] so that it gets the correct item from the list.

userInput = ''
counter = 0
addLine = []
lineNumber = 0
newLine = ''

while True:
    userInput = input('Would you like to enter more lines?: ')

    if userInput == 'yes':
        addLine.append(input('Please enter your line: '))
        counter += 1
    elif userInput == 'no': 
        break

print('Verse')
for num in range(counter):
    print('Line ' + str(num + 1) + ': ' + addLine[num])

After some testing, this should work.

Put your print statement inside the loop:

while True:
   ...
   print(f"Line {counter}: {addLine}")

Answer 3

I've reworked your code a little:

user_input = ''
add_line = []

while True:
    user_input = input('Would you like to enter new lines?: ')

    if user_input == 'yes':
        add_line.append(input('Please enter your line: '))
    
    if user_input == 'no':
        break

print('Verse')
for i in add_line:
    print(f'Line {add_line.index(i) + 1}: {i}')

Test run:

Would you like to enter new lines?: yes
Please enter your line: this is a line
Would you like to enter new lines?: yes
Please enter your line: another line
Would you like to enter new lines?: no
Verse
Line 1: this is a line
Line 2: another line
